Red Sleeveless Top, or Love Talks

(Otiose speculation spelled by thinking about red)

It is very easy to talk about love... when you are single. The real feelings are silent... You cherish and save them as great treasure, you radiate happiness, your eyes are shining constantly and all your nature wills to share the joy of love with the whole world which you surely want to hug; you are filled with energy and confidence that you are able to do whatever: from walking on the surface of water to flying in the sky but to talk about all that... It is only possible to say to that only one, when you are together, close and you see beloved eyes. You just cannot keep it inside any more and at last say those words for him or her only and hope to hear the same as an answer. Each of you knows what the other feels but wants to hear that at least sometimes and without secret fear that said aloud those words become worthless...

And now few words about what caused that idle thinking:-) Obviously the necklace and the earrings were made to be worn and the matching outfit had to be pretty laconic without any complex details or decor because the necklace is intricate enough itself. The choice was made in favour of the plain top #107 from Burda 4/2013. By the way, the issue is pretty nice but, surprisingly, this top is the first thing I've made from it.

2. The front part of the facing I stitched to the neck hole seam allowance as they recommend in the instruction but the back part was top stitched. The pleated front is heavier than the back so in this way the facing will stay in its right position better.
